I have an Elizabeth Stantlee (Stanley) who first married a man named Young. It was stated on her death certificate that she was born in Prestonburg, KY. She had children, William Young, and I think Catharine Young. She married second to Lacy Jennings on November 18, 1841 in Greenup County, KY. Her children by Lacy Jennings were Jonathan Jennings, Calvin Jennings, Cynthia Jennings, Alexander Jennings, and Reason Jennings.

He had a daughter Catherine: William Young, SC Line, Rejected claim no #, on August 31, 1860 in Hardeman Co., TN soldier's daughter Catherine Ragan aged nearly 85 applied for herself and her brother Samuel Young aged nearly 78 a resident of Newberry District, SC and she stated they were the only surviving children of deceased soldier, soldier had lived in Newberry District, SC for many years and about 1822 moved to Christian Co., KY for 3 or 4 years then moved to Hardeman Co., TN for 5 or 6 years then moved to Perry Co., TN and died there 1837 aged 105 years.

Janie, I just found your email from the Greenup list on my computer. Sorry it took so long to find this. Do you know the name of the Young that Elizabeth Stantlee (Stanley) married? When I was in Greenup last summer, somehow I missed seeing the bridegroom page for the Youngs 1803 - 1853. I see in the 1850 census that Elizabeth Stanley Young Jenning's children were William Young, Catharine Young, and Ibba Young (male). I photographed some of the marriage records at the Greenup Co Library (last summer when I visited) and just happened to have the Young men who were married from 1854 - 1903. I have a copy of the part of the page that contains William Young. He married Elizabeth Boyse on 15 Dec 1859. I can send you the image if you want it. Are you researching the Youngs or the Jennings? I am researching the Youngs and I wonder how this Young who married Elizabeth Stantlee (Stanley) is related to John and Mary Young. I have 6 of John and Mary (Moore) Young's children (girls) but not the names of the other children.

As far as I've been able to determine, John Young and Mary (Moore) Young had six daughters: America L. Arimathea K. Polly Moore Elizabeth "Betsey" Nancy W. Jane S. I'd be interested in any evidence of additional children.

Hi Kelly, No, I don't have any names of sons of John Young. Only girls are recorded in the Bible pages found in the Revolutionary War application. As far as I know there are no other children of john and Mary Young other than the 6 that have been so well documented. However, only a part of the Bible was needed to satisfy the requirements of the application. Other information could be contained in the missing pages (if there are any missing pages.) There are indications that they may have had other children. In the 1820 US census of Greenup Co there was only one male listed in the household of John Young, himself, aged 45 & over. In the 1810 census John Young, Greenup, has 1 male under the age of 10 and 2 males from 26 to under 44. The male under the age of 10 was not listed on the 1820 census so he may have died or married young. The 2nd male who was 26 to 44 (not John Young himself) could have been born as late as 1885. Now 1885 is before the usual date of marriage given for John and Mary Moore Young. However, there is some controversy about the actual date. It is listed as 12 March 1784 by Mary Moore Young herself on her statement taken near her time of death and given to Jesse Corum on 16 Apr 1857. John Young on 2 Nov 1842 states he was married 12 March 1785 and the Bible record agrees with him. Yet I think there is reason to wonder if 1784 is not the correct year and whether they did have a son who reached a marriageable age, either of the 2 males from the 1810 census who, as far as I know, are unaccounted for. Now, to speculate further, there is a Gabriel C. Young in the 1850 census of Greenup who was 34 or born about 1816. Who was his father? If John Young had a son as indicated in the 1810 census and who married by 1816 and therefore was not in the 1820 census at his father's household, he "may" have had a male descendants who could have been the father of Gabriel C. Young. BTW, our family descend from Jane S. Young and her husband, Gabriel Hannah and were married in 1812. To carry this speculation even further, it would not have been unusual for the name Gabriel to have been used by the Young family after the 1812 marriage. Well, that's the only indications I can find, and there is certainly no actual proof, but I think there are indications that they may have had a son or two who may have become of marriageable age. Now a question for you. What date do you have for Arimathea's marriage to Lewis Raison . It looks like either 17 February 1810 or 1811 to me in the Bible. The Greenup Library records show 14 Feb 1811. I assume they recorded a license Feb 14, 1811 but were married the 17th of 1811. Many of the dates in the Bible are one or two days after the dates in the Greenup Library records. Is that how you interpret it?
